Nous

The name Nous comes from ancient Greek, meaning the highest form of mind or intellect, the capacity to perceive what lies beneath the surface. It is a fitting name for a project that asks its members to look past conventional and even organic viticulture and toward something more alive. Sara and Alessandro Filippi founded the collective in 2015, with Sara's Soave estate on extreme volcanic basalt soils as the founding partner.

Alessandro Filippi developed the Vini di Luce philosophy, which he describes as agriculture of light and carbon: a system of regenerative practices designed to restore soil carbon, encourage microbial life, and produce grapes that carry genuine nutritional and energetic vitality. The couple built Nous as a cooperative structure that allows small farmers to share resources, equipment, and knowledge while maintaining independence over their own land. The model has since extended beyond wine to wheat, olive oil, and other crops across Italy.
